How to Connect OptinMonster with GetResponse

How to Connect OptinMonster with GetResponse

OptinMonster offers seamless integration with GetResponse email marketing service. Connecting OptinMonster to your GetResponse email list is very easy.

In this article, you’ll learn how to connect GetResponse with OptinMonster.

Before you start, this integration is available with a Plus and higher subscription.
All subscription plans can add custom forms using the Form Embed block.

As a best practice, we recommend you also connect your campaigns to Monster Leads as a backup.

Connect GetResponse

When you create a campaign in OptinMonster that you intend to collect leads with you’ll want to integrate with one or more services to send those leads to.

To send leads to GetResponse, follow these steps:

  1. Before you start, you’ll need a GetResponse API Key. You can generate and copy an API Key from your GetResponse account following this guide.
  2. Navigate to the Integrations view in the campaign builder, search for and select GetResponse.
    Select GetResponse as your integration in OptinMonster.
  3. Enter a GetResponse Account Name (*internal use only) and your GetResponse API Key in the appropriate fields.
    Enter your GetResponse Name and API Key.
    *The GetResponse Account Name can be anything that helps you identify the specific integration within OptinMonster. It’s possible to add more than one GetResponse integration to your account and this is an easy way to differentiate between them when assigning integrations to individual campaigns.
  4. If you are a GetResponse 360 customer enable the toggle then enter your *GetResponse Registered Domain and select the **Country Association for your account.
    GetResponse 360 settings in OptinMonster.
    *The GetResponse Registered Domain should be in the format of domain.com, it should not include ‘www’, ‘https://’ or other prefixes.
    **If you are not sure the Country Association of your GetResponse account, please reach out to GetResponse support directly to assist with that information.
  5. Next, select the Connect to GetResponse button.
    Connect OptinMonster to GetResponse.
  6. Required: Once the GetResponse integration has been connected select the GetResponse List you wish to send leads to from the Email Provider Lists field.
    Select the List you want to add leads to in GetResponse.
  7. Optional: You can also specify Subscriber Tags to assign to leads.
    Assign Tags in GetResponse to leads.
  8. When you’re finished, Save your campaign.

Add Extra Fields

Field Mapping

This integration supports Field Mapping, so you can easily add radio buttons, phone fields, text areas, number fields, lists, and more!

Before you begin using Field Mapping with GetResponse, please consider the following:

  • Custom fields must be manually created in your GetResponse account before they can be mapped to in OptinMonster.
  • The following custom fields arereserved in GetResponse and cannot be mapped to:
    • lead_phone (use the Phone field to send data to this reserved field)
    • coupon_code (the Coupon Code won when creating a Gamified spin-to-win campaign)
    • coupon_label (the Coupon Label when creating a Gamified spin-to-win campaign)
    • http_referrer
    • optinmonster (if you have custom branding on the field will be called {brand-name} with spaces and dashes replaced by an underscore)
  • Custom field names must use only lowercase letters, underscores, and digits.
  • Custom field data should be between 1-255 characters.
  • You can manage your custom fields in GetResponse following this guide.

Form Embed Block

Alternatively, you can add any GetResponse webform to your campaign using our Form Embed block.

Email Automations

To send emails automatically to new leads you’ll want to configure email automations within your GetResponse account.

The following guides from GetResponse may be helpful to get started:

Testing

We strongly recommend you test the optin form before publishing your campaign to ensure it is working as you expect.

Before you begin, please be aware of the following details when testing GetResponse integrations:

  • Previously submitted or already subscribed leads may be treated differently by GetResponse than new leads. For this reason, we recommend using a completely unique email address each time you test submit your campaign’s form. You can use a free tool like TempMail.io or learn how to create unlimited unique email addresses from a single Gmail account.
  • If the lead is captured in GetResponse but you do not receive any automated emails it indicates the integration from OptinMonster to GetResponse is correct, and the issue is with the automated email configuration. GetResponse controls email automation exclusively. If you require assistance in troubleshooting email automations we recommend reaching out to GetResponse support directly.

Get started testing with the Live Site Inspector tool explained in our guide on how to test an OptinMonster campaign.

Spin-a-Wheel Support

If you are configuring a Gamified spin-to-win campaign, spin-a-wheel support is not available at this time to send the coupon data to GetResponse.

OptinMonster has transformed our business. Before integrating their optins, our clients saw a 2% conversion rate from web traffic, which is slightly above the standard for their industry. With the integration of OptinMonster’s lightbox popup, exit-intent technology, split testing, and other tools, our client’s conversion rates soared by an unprecedented 500%. They attracted substantially more customers while spending less on digital advertising. Their success propelled them to the top of their markets, outperforming national chains and other medical spas with much bigger marketing budgets. Our client’s success in their market has distinguished us in our own. We are now one of the most sought-after marketing firms in the industry of aesthetic medicine. We know that the integration of OptinMonster, more than any other tool or marketing strategy, has supported this growth and achievement.

Through OptinMonster’s exit-intent popups, we have more than doubled our sales conversion rate. Best of all is the compound effect of using OptinMonster over a long period of time—more conversions mean more customers, which means more word of mouth.
